Little Blossom

Capo: 2nd fret [Verse 1] C G Oh, dear, I'm so tired and so lonesome C I wonder why Mama don't come F She told me to close my pretty blue eyes G C And when I awoke, she'll be home [Verse 2] C G I guess I'll go out and find Papa C He must've stopped in at the store F That great long room filled with bottles G C I wish he would go there no more [Verse 3] C G Sometimes he's so sick when he comes home C He staggers and falls on the stairs F And once when he came in the parlor G C He kicked at my poor little chair [Verse 4] C G But I love him, I guess I'll go find him C I know he will gladly come home F And then it won't be so lonesome G C Waiting for Mama to come [Break] C C G G G G C C C C F F G G C C [Verse 5] C G "Oh, Daddy," she cried when she reached him C Her voice ringing out sweet and clear F I knew if I come, I would find you G C And now I am glad I am here [Verse 6] C G For a moment, the red eyes gazed wildly C Into that face sweet and fair F And just as a demon possessed him G C He grabbed for the back of a chair [Verse 7] C G In a moment, the whole thing was over C The work of his deed was complete F And poor little innocent Blossom G C Lay quivering and crushed at his feet [Verse 8] C G He clasped a bright arm to his bosom C And fondled her sweet curly hair F For a moment, the baby's lips trembled G C And then little Blossom was dead
